*Mapping

Let's say I'm using the NoiseBell effect and I want to keep the echo feedback to its highest level at all times. Is there any way to map the effect to make that happen, since my controller has two effect knobs and NoiseBell has like 4 different sliders, making me have to use the mouse to move the slider?

Same thing happens with other effects, like the Ramp Delay effect, which I often use. Whenever I want to change the timing (1/4, 1/8, etc), I have to do it manually.

you can make sliders a specific value with

effect 'noisebell' slider 4 100%

so to map noisebell you would use

slider 1 = dry/wet
slider 2 = frequency
slider 4 = echo

effect 'noisebell' slider 2 & effect 'noisebell' slider 1 40% & effect 'noisebell' slider 4 100%

for any effect buttons you can use

effect 'ramp_delay' button 2 1

** the red 1 at the end is just a binary switch, I'm not sure you need it, but I always do it anyway as I like to cover all the possible issues.

You can also make a slider change button values within a certain range eg this will be 3/4 if the controllers slider is below 90% and 1/4 if above

effect 'ramp_delay' slider 1 & param_smaller 90% ? effect 'ramp_delay' button 4 1 : effect 'ramp_delay' button 2 1

You should register your Pro serial so you can get updates, were on 7.05 b380.
 
Forgot to thank you, but I appreciate it. I've been figuring it out bit by bit, and it's really helpful to know those commands.

I also figured out how to do a sort of delay/echo-y effect I asked for help with using a video from a Dubfire gig. Figured out how to do it with the EchoDoppler.
 
Another question regarding effects, specifically regarding the EchoDoppler: the Feedback slider (third slider down) is always set at a low value, which means that if I change effect and then go back to the EchoDoppler, it's not gonna be how I left it. Is there a way to edit the effect's info so as to have the Feedback slider automatically at any value I desire?
 
You can set it to a specific value with a button as in the above example, just change the name of the effect and the slider number you want to use. or you can change the value in the configuration .ini file to change the default that Tex_ZK set.
 
How do I do that? The files' extensions is .dll and I can't seem to open them with anything.
 
it should be in the sound effects folder, open it with a text editor like notepad
 
I tried that, but it's all gibberish. There's no discernable text at all.
 
it says this on mine
"C:\Users\User\Documents\VirtualDJ\Plugins\SoundEffect\EchoDoppler.ini" wrote :

[AutoParams]
Switch Additive 3=0
Switch Ping-pong 4=1
Slider Dry / Wet 5=0
Slider Depth 6=3250
Slider Feedback 7=3034
Slider High-pass 8=3392
String status 9=Dry 100% | Wet 0% | Dep 483 ms | FB 89% | HPF 2399 Hz
 
Hey Syn....If I want to change the way an effect is named (how it shows up under "effects" on the skin) can I change the name to my choosing by altering BOTH the INI and DLL FILES? or just one? inside of the VDJ Folder.......I would like a way to group my effects into groups how I use them rather than the alphabetical order that they are in now.....example: all of the effects I use to transition out, re-label to say "Transition Out_ Doppler Echo"......"Transition Out_Flanged Loop Out".........etc......."Effect Within_Track Flanger" or "Effect Within Track_Isolator"
 
you just need to rename the dll and an ini file will automatically be created i the same name once you use it in vdj i believe.

Also you can create a folder tree and place effects into different folders which you can access in vdj, the only restriction is you can't map effects specifically when they are in folders eg you can't map "effect 'ramp_delay' slider 1" but you can map "effect slider 1" to operate on any effect in the slot.
 
Create the folders inside of the VDJ - Plugins - effects folder and then just dump in the effect dll and ini inside and they will appear in tree with folders in my "effects screen?"....that sounds great!.....

*** Just tried what I laid out above, no luck....I cannot go into the VDJ folder - Plugins - Sound Effects and right click to create a folder within that sound effects folder in order to organize effects into groups within VDJ........No option listed to create one in my Win. 7......
 
hey blaze,

you need to make the folders in windows explorer, the comp i'm typing on at the moment is win 7 starter, you just right click -->select "new" --> select "folder" --> then name it and place the effects you want in there. You will need to reload VDJ to see the changes.

If you can't create folders with a right click the shortcut is [ctrl + shift + n] for windows.
 
What's strange is that when I downloaded the effect from the plugin page, it installed the effect's .dll file, but there's no .ini file to be seen. Same goes for all other effects.
 
great posting
